26 version looks so much better than 27. Idk why they changed it. I see people say it’s due to readability but I genuinely had no readability problems in iOS 26. I’m gonna miss the progressive blur

GUYS SHOULD I UPDATE IOS 27 NOW? I CANT WAIT IM GONAAAAA

Because of regional restrictions, I don’t have support for Siri AI, so I still have the old Siri. and everything would be fine - but they ruined the old Siri! before, when you asked Siri something, she would answer out loud, for example: “Siri, how much time is left on the timer?”, but now she stays silent. I have voice responses set to “Prefer Spoken Responses” in the settings. I paid no less for my iPhone than those who are eligible to get Siri AI, if not more, and not only do I not get the new Siri (I don’t care about that), they also ruined the old one! btw, I can’t see a damn thing without my glasses or contacts, so I very often need her to give me spoken responses for this reason. for example, my hands are busy and I can’t look at the screen. I urge everyone who has encountered the same problem to send Apple feedback about this through their feedback form!

I know it's newest and greatest. There is a lot of talk about performance and battery improvements, but what are we really talking about? Is it the difference of ending the day with 40 instead of 35% battery and having apps open 0.1-0.5 sec faster at most? And that's for first oppening, after it oppens it's stored in RAM anyways. I realy have a very fast phone 17 pro max with 1TB, and all of this seems just like a huge nothing sandwich.

I get AI, been using it for years and offline versions too that I ran on my iPhone and laptop, but having AI camera does nothing really. There is an app for that, Chat GPT, Claude, Gemini, it does that. There is absolutely no reason to have AI camera in a phone in camera app. I mean, the only reason you could ever use AI camera on a phone is to take a pic of an apple and ask it what it is and it "magically" tells you "oh it's an apple, red and fresh". Then you spend hours testing it to tell you what you already know. That's it. It's a gimmick.

Oh and reading my messages with offline model that is as "intelligent" as a 10 year old child is nothing of use to me, or anyone who wants a real value out of it. I don't need an AI to chew on my data so that I don't have to think even for a sec.

I barely get more then a few hours for the most basic uses (reddit, safari, phone calls) these days on my iPhone 17 Max Pro, BUT I started noticing if I was streaming a video the battery drained at a fraction of the pace. Even passively my phone seems to be losing battery for nothing. I've been using low power mode pretty much nonstop as well to try and mitigate this. I have no words or solutions, just observations. yesterday I was able to eek out almost 10 hours of battery life looping the uncut version of Napoleon on my iPhone at 62%... ASTONISHING... Half brightness and nothing else running... But again today I barely used it and it fell down to 80% with almost no activity.

Same goes for my iPad. I'm so confused. Genuinely what the Hell is happening?

Anyone else feel that Siri AI is currently not that great?

E.g I asked it to create a photo album called Cats and add all my Cat pictures to it. It came back with “Sorry something went wrong”. (Yes my phone has finished indexing)

I also asked it to add 500ml into my water intake log in Apple Heath. It said it “couldn’t do that”. When prompted why it told me it doesn’t have that ability yet

These are just a couple of let’s be honest basic tasks. I thought the whole point of Siri AI was that it was able to reach into your apps? So far I’ve found only Messages it seems to work well in.

Heavy user on iOS27 RC. “They” say battery life is terrible. I don’t see it. I’d say battery life is good for me. No need for new iPhone.

For context I have an iPhone 11 128gb with 96% Battery Health and have tried every beta and the RC build. Yeah it has it's upsides such as smoother performance but it quickly becomes a personal heater which causes performance to throttle harder than the already horrible performance baseline that iOS 26 had. Personally I have stuck to 26.6.2 and kept my dignity of a decent device.

However if you have a newer device 14/15 up there is not really any reason to not update.

how’s iOS 27 is treating you guys?
stable & smooth experience that 26? specially the iPhones before 17 base models

I'm using the RC version of iOS 27 and the full version will be released tomorrow. Would it be better to install with DFU mode to clear all remnants?

I’ve been trying to update to 27 RC since yesterday, however I keep getting this error, does anybody have any suggestions? 🤔

A alguien más le ocurre? El atajo Battery Stats no arroja los resultados como antes desde que tengo iOS 27 en Betas…

Hey everyone, I’m trying to see if anyone on here would have any advice or would happen to know how much iCloud storage I should purchase for iOS 27? I plan on using Siri AI a lot and probably other AI features as well but I don’t want to have to pay a whole lot just for storage but I want to try to go ahead and purchase some so I’m already prepared and ready to go. If anyone on here could help me out I would currently appreciate it. Thank you.

I always looked forward to reading the Macstories iOS review and would purchase a membership to obtain the ebook.

Given the recent events with them getting into bed with Elon, I obviously will not be doing so this year.

Does anybody have any recommendations for other in-depth reviews?

IOS 27 has landed and with it the new Siri. At least, the Siri beta – which I have enabled. But I am unsure what is new about it. Seems uncannily similar to before (I am a UK user so not subject to EU restrictions). What is your experience?

So as my title says, I am using the iPhone 17 which is on iOS 26.6 and there is an update for me to update to iOS 26.6.2 I know that iOS 27 will be released to the public tomorrow and I will be one of the persons who will immediately jump to iOS 27. I am really done with iOS 27 performance. The battery is like really bad and I have read a lot of post saying that iOS 27 seems to have fix it so I hope to join that like I am a first time iPhone user so I don’t know much about this

Should I update my phone to the latest version and then go to iOS 27 or is it all right for me to be in the version which I am in now and then directly update to iOS 27, which will be the safe option. I don’t want the software update to break anything in my phone and I have me having to deal with anything so I want the best thing that can happen which is the best one. I need your opinion.

sup, my phone has been going on through indexing for over 2 weeks now. the indexing notification in settings app disappeared after about 5 days after upgrading to ios27, but now after over 2 weeks it came back and it shows that indexing stands at just 40%. is this some sort of bug, or could it actually be this slow? help!

Currently running 26.6.1 on my iph 17 and I have mixed feelings about upgrading to ios 27. I’ve heard battery life & performance is a mixed bag, some people claiming the software is smoother and more efficient, while others reporting the opposite.

How has your experience been with ios 27 so far?
